Started building the form of one mug. Rolled out a slab, wrapped around a piece of PVC, and ended up with this. I'll let it set up for a few days then start to work on features for this "Some People Call Me a Space Moai" mug.

Dang was going to make it to the studio to add ears and to start the face build out on the mug, but paddled out for a surf and stepped on a stingray. That's never fun, so I spent the afternoon not working AND not working on pottery, but sitting with my foot in a bucket of blazing hot water.

Hopefully the mug didn't get too dry with this blazing heat we're having down here in SD.

(Okay, not bragging to others in other parts of the country re: temperature, though it doesn't help clay).

I finally sat down at my computer to concept out some sketches that I want to do for the art swap. I've been looking at everybody's work so far! Good job!!! =)

My sketches revolve around a phrase that has been in my head "THe Loneliest Tiki." It made me think of a sad Tiki Character that got left behind on the moon. He is the last one standing.

And since I"ve been watching a lot of old Star Trek episodes with my husband, I had to include some space women. It seems like young WIlliam Shatner always gets the hot space girl! I'll probably move on to doing a bigger piece or more concepts...

Thanks for reading! I look forward to seeing more progress pictures.
